NASA refers to the highly technical term, "hiccup," as an "anomaly." 
Anything can be an anomaly:  Inadvertently having ANT2 selected on 30m 
and wondering why the band is dead and the SWR is infinite would be an 
anomaly in NASA-speak [fixed when Wayne called and said, "Let's start 
with the easy stuff ..."].  Finding the rocket pointy-end down in the 
desert outside Phoenix when it should have been headed for the moon 
would also be an anomaly.  It's just a matter of degree.

John -

If you have not already done so, you might try getting a fresh 
download.  It is not unknown for there to be an otherwise undetected 
hiccup (an error, to use a non-technical term) in the received file.  
Sometimes trying again will fix this sort of thing.  If it happens 
repeatedly, then it is time to ask questions of the main man.

Any advice is appreciated..

Hi John,

There is a bug in the version on the Elecraft site that is causing this problem 
on some systems.

Try downloading this file and give it a try:

http://sight.net/K3/K3Util/6-26-2008/Mac/K3UtilityOSX1163.zip

Let me know if this cures the problem and I'll get this version posted on the 
Elecraft site.

tnx,

David, W4SMT
